  • Fix #460 - The favourite app now has a fixed width so that it doesn't squash the other apps when it has a long title.

New major release! The name of the game with this release is accessibility. The whole app is now keyboard navigable. For example, you can tab through the app picker, and use space or enter keys to launch the highlighted app. With the new layout, there's no longer any need to hide any apps, as I've implemented a frequently requested feature: drag-to-sort! In the Apps pane inside the Preferences window, you can now drag the apps into the desired order. The top-most app is the favourite (larger) app in the picker.

Copy-to-clipboard is still bound to the standard ⌘+C keyboard shortcut. You can also click the URL bar to copy-to-clipboard.

This is obviously one of Browserosaurus's biggest UI changes in a while so please add your thoughts and ideas to the GitHub discussions forum. Thanks 😁

  • Added support for LibreWolf (thanks @ph00lt0)

  • Grey-out backspace and copy buttons when no URL present.

  • Upgraded to latest Electron Forge (v6-beta.58)

  • Use the context bridge to communicate between main and renderer processes. This is the future of cross process communication so this was a good task to tick off. Essentially, Browserosaurus should be slightly more secure now.

  • Use Electron's in-built copy to clipboard functionality, rather than spawning a child process manually. This will be much easier to maintain and avoid security issues.

  • Refactored permanent storage to use lowdb, from electron-store. Electron Store had a bug (or relies on a dependency that has a bug) which meant I was unable to upgrade to its latest version whilst using npm 7. The new library, LowDB, has less dependencies but meant I had to write a fair amount of logic to gain all the functionality I was using from Electron Store. If you see anything weird with settings not being stored, please file an issue.

v15.0.6

Why does v15 start at 15.0.6? Because that's how many attempts it took for me to get Apple to notarize the app πŸ™„ Turns out, they now want you to enter all your bank and tax details, even though Browserosaurus isn't sold publicly nor on the App Store. Could somebody please make a Linux laptop with hardware on par with a MacBook πŸ™ Anyway...

  • New preferences window!
    Whilst this seems trivial, it actually paves the way for easier addition of configuration. Keeping two windows' data synchronised is no easy task, but I believe I now have a fairly solid bus to communicate between the preferences and tiles windows.

A lot of refactor went into this release. Please log any issues you spot. Thank you ☺️
